10 Wealthiest Zip Codes in the USA

There is tremendous wealth in the United States; one of the richest nations in the world. Much of that wealth is concentrated within the big cities where many major corporations have their headquarters. What is lesser known is that some of the wealthiest places are relatively small. Some rather rural residential communities, within commuting distances of cities, have extremely wealthy residents. Other wealthy enclaves are concentrated in places that have amenities like ski resorts, beaches, or great views. Knowing where the money is can give you an advantage if you want to buy land with future resale value.
